Synopsis

Roxi Thoren examines how the catalysts of population growth and pressure on natural resources have driven a redefinition of the purpose of landscape architecture. The 25 projects featured highlight the physical, ecological and cultural history of each site before redevelopment. Roxi then provides a compelling analysis of the ways in which these reinvented landscapes will serve the needs of the communities that surround them.
